SYSTEM OPERATIONS-30
If the Green indicator light does not
illuminate after turning on the igni-
tion switch or if it turns off at any time
during operation of your yacht, either
at dockside or while underway, DO
NOT open the engine compartment for
at least ten (10) minutes. Opening the
engine compartment immediately will
allow air to enter and may cause a
fi re
“ fl ashback”, possibly resulting in seri-
ous injury or death. The sudden rush
of air into the engine compartment may
also render the automatic
fi re extin-
guishing system ineffective.
If you do not observe or smell any evi-
dence of a
fi re and you have waited the
recommended ten (10) minutes, open
your engine compartment and examine
the Halon 1301 container actuator to
determine if it has been discharged. Re-
fer to the
Manufacturer’s Manual, which
illustrates the charged and discharged
positions of the actuator. If the system has
been discharged or appears charged, but
the indicator light does not illuminate, see
your Silverton Dealer for further inspection
and repair, if necessary.
In the event of an engine/generator com-
partment
fi re, the following steps should
be taken to avoid the likelihood of person-
al injury or death and to minimize property
damage:
Remain calm and avoid panic.
Immediately turn off all electrical pow-
er, including the engine ignition and
the engine compartment ventilation

blowers. NOTE: Do NOT turn off power
to your VHF Radio.
DO NOT open the engine/genera-
tor Compartment for at least ten (10)
minutes to allow the Halon vapor to
extinguish the
fi re.
Remove your portable fi re extinguisher
from its mounting bracket and prepare
it for use, if necessary.
Instruct all passengers to put on their
Personal Flotation Devices (PFD’s)
and move away from the source of the
fi re.
Contact the United States Coast Guard
on your VHF radio and advise of your
situation and location. Maintain radio
contact until the crises has ended and
assistance has arrived.
If the fi re is successfully extinguished,
examine the engine compartment
components for damage. DO NOT
start your engines if any damage is
noted. Request towing assistance to a
safe harbor and contact your Silverton
Dealer for a thorough inspection and
repairs.
When replacing parts of the fi re fi ght-
ing installation only matching compo-
nents shall be used, bearing the same
designation or being equivalent in their
technical and
fi re resistant capabilities.
REFER to the Manufacturer’s Manual
for a detailed description of your AU-
TOMATIC FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYS-
TEM. Be certain to complete the War-
ranty card and mail to the manufacturer
within 10 days of your purchase.
